Just saw footage of their meeting. Hard to believe a few hours later he was dead. Very strange.

Praying for a real Pope...A Pope who recognizes the Traditional Mass...And stays out of Politics.

Of all of the manipulated photographs I have ever seen, that ranks as the all-time best. Ever. Saved it to my computer.

Every time I start to type something, I stop myself. Just because Francis is dead doesn’t mean he’s suddenly become a better person than he was alive.

I will always remember my years as a Catholic with fondness. Francis, not at all.

Good luck to the Church this time around. Pick someone to support Trump and decency. Let Trump be a model of what it could be if it put its traditional religion first, instead of trying to bring in so many disparate faiths that it watered down its own.

Never should have been pope. The old pope should never have resigned.

Now that the "woke, NWO" Cardinals are all in place, the Catholic Church will be a LONG time recovering, if ever.

Just like the U.S. Government, once the embedded NWO indoctrinated structure is cemented into the membership, the apparatus to resist removal is immense.

Well, bye. What a fruitcake. Let’s get a real pope that approves of Christianity and morals this time.

I certainly hope Francis found Christ, before he passed, and had his “come to Jesus” moment.

One need not be Christion to become Pope, but they do have to be one remarkable politician.

Francis played all the angles before and after he assumed the office of Pope. May the next regime correct all the “infallibilities” left hanging.

There have been 7 Popes in my lifetime. The first two I have no memory of (Pius XII and John XXIII) because I was an infant. Paul VI, the two John Pauls, Benedict XVI and Francis I do recall. Prayers for our RC brothers and sisters.

Sadly, I think the next one will be worse since Francis put in the leftist Cardinals.

I have a big problem with the Vatican and all of it’s pompous life style. How does someone who has no wife, no children, never ran a business, portray a wise man leading a frugal life in the spirit of Jesus? Some of the most beautiful architecture in the world. Amazing sculptures, paintings, artifacts, and security. I doubt the pope eats at MacDonald’s. Probably some of the world’s best chefs working there. He paraded around expecting to be the next candidate for sainthood, while blessing perverts.

The interpretation of his prophecy to contend with, as some antipopes are included in the list.

A "changed" church?

It all depends on whether his successors go along with it. We'll see.

Many people will say that this guy was a great leader, spoke softly but with great influence! I will not be one of them.

So sad to see any human pass! However, besides the massive religious decline around the globe, his accomplishments were few.

I sincerely pray that the next Pope is Catholic....

One of the posters made mention that the vast majority of the Cardinals that will choose the next Pope were made Cardinals by this Pope, making it likely the next Pope unfortunately will have similar views to this Pope.
